Villarreal's 2008/2009 schedule has been released by LFP. AS.com provides it here in easy-to-read format.
Villarreal start the season out 8/31 at Osasuna. From there, the schedule continues (the second half of the season is the reverse of the first half):
2. Deportivo 3. @ Numancia 4. Racing 5. @Sporting 6. Betis 7. @Espanyol 8. Atlético 9. @Athletic 10. Almeria |
11. @Málaga 12. Valladolid 13. @Recreativo 14. Getafe 15. @ Sevilla 16. Barcelona 17. @ Real Madrid 18. @Valencia 19. Mallorca |
Wow. The stretch of Sevilla, Barcelona, Madird and Valencia is going to be brutal. There is a break (Christmas) between the first Barca and Madrid matches, but that will not be fun regardless.
